my friend = dumbass (I was trying to be kind) As far as your cohort muashi goes, take a look at some of his posts on the Axis (so-called) History Forum...the guy (assuming) is a blatant anti-German/Pro-Polish poster that checks all facts at the door to the forum before he posts...I have no time for...

to fknorr First of all I would really appreciate should you change your tone. Please, do not call me "jaded friend", do not speak about "incase (...) little agenda [that] causes [my] temporary blindness" neither about leaving "[my] Anti-German bias at the door". The rea...

At the beginning I saw going to comment fknorr's post short and simple: crap. But anyhow I think it deserves a few more lines. - Stating that this diary does not mention the fact that Dirlewanger's men were not all poarchers and undermaining this diary on that basis is childish. This Belgian had ful...

To Sid, C/mon Sid, give 1871 a break - he's clearly passed the line of objective approach. First he calls Poles, Ukrainians ect. "prospect Europeans", and then states that Europe goes untill Ural Mountains (so where Poland lies ???). To the top he tries to lecture here a geography accusing...

to Jock Do not count on Russian government - they never disclose anything about their shameful past. Most likely the man in question died in gulag, because majority of POWs died there. Of course this could happen only if he was not killed right at the spot - i.e. all SS soldiers were killed instantl...

It means: Mobile cannon Sturmpanzer IV from the headquarters of Sturmpanzer-Abteilung 216. Summer 1944. Italian front (vehicle from the last production version) [About this "mobile cannon": this is direct translation, but can be also translated as mobile artillery or even howitzer (but in ...

The problem with forum (a forum in general, not particularily this one) is that firstly discussion takes really long, exchange of arguments as well (relates to Nibelung), and secondly it is often the case when writing about one must either concentrate on the subject stricktly or write lengthy and po...

to Sigrun Many of what you say is true, however general approach is not acceptable and inhumane in my PERSONAL opinion. It is true that convoys could not rescue sailors from the water. It was stricktly prohibited because it would endanger the convoy en gross (merchant ships had to go on, destroyers ...

Fights took place between 25.I.1945 and 17.III.1945. Most of them there conducted within the city of Malbork (declared to be a Festung, but many other cities got this status - it was in no way as well fortified as i.e. Wroclaw/Breslau) and also battles for the castle itself. Defenders comprised of G...

To 2nd SS Panzer Das Reich Indeed but they had no choice but to summit to the Gestapo, If they protested they would be shoot. Tell me do you believe the German women were raped who were raped by Russians needed to be "taught a lession"? Obviously I do not believe in this kind of justice. A...

I strongly agree with Sigrun and others about impossibility of taking prisoners by U-boots. There was no space, no time and it was too dangerous. But reading after Sigrun Further, in the case of such summary executions where they did occur, I'd wager the predominent motives empathy and humanity rath...

Let's not quarrel, because it usually does not bring any good results. In most cases both sides leave it assured, that they were right, and the opponent is a complete nuts. Of course not all Germans were bad. Of course some of them were trying to fight Nazi, some of them were even preparing assassin...

C'mon menel - this guy 1871 clearly does not know what he is talking about. Calling restitution of Poland after Prusians (with Russians and Austro-Hungarian Empire) stole Polish land a "theft" speaks for itself. Stating list of countries trying to enter UE (while majority of them are ALREA...

Sorry Igorn, but you seem not to understand. They ask you to give date in the following profile: who/where/when. Please, stick to that, leave cmments for another thread. We can calculate average by ourselves. You wrote: "The duration of this operation was 48 days. The breadth of the front was 4...

Famous? Are you joking. Word "infamous" would be too delicate. First in the row would be 36. Waffen Grenadier Division der SS [former brigade SS-"Dirlewanger"] under command of Oscar Dirlewanger. At first it comprised of German poachers taken from prisons (around 2000). Majority ...
